I went recently to the site www.myheritage.com - which a friend told me was intereting because you could upload a picture of your face, it would scan it, and then give you a list of celebrities you most resembled. I did so with this picture, and got back the following list:
Peter Sellers
Wim Wenders
Steven Soderbergh
Nana Mouskouri
Eddie Murphy
Mira Sorvino
Pierre Bourdieu
Matthew Perry
Elvis Costello
Primo Levi
The Peter Sellers one would delight an ex-girlfriend of mine who, after seeing a movie about his distant, moody, shape-shifting ways drew that comparison herself. But I noticed something.
With the exception of two, all of those people were wearing glasses in their photos. So I figured, okay, what if I took off my glasses?
Here is the list I got without glasses:
Aretha Franklin
Kate Winslet
Deborah Kerr
Gladys Knight
Christian Slater
Lindsay Lohan
Anette Benning
Elisha Cuthbert
Charlize Theron
Josephine Baker
Aretha Franklin? Really? Apparently, with glasses I'm a british comedian, without I'm a black soul singer. Who knew?
